\n Brock Nelson, who missed more than 25 minutes of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals for the Islanders while dealing with the aftereffects of having his face slammed into the glass on a first-period hit to the numbers from Alex Killorn, should be good to go for Friday\u2019s Game 3.<\/p>\n

The Lightning\u2019s Brayden Point, who missed the final 34:37 of his team\u2019s 2-1 victory with an app<\/a>arent lower-body injury that might be a hamstring pull, isn\u2019t quite as good a bet to lace them up.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I think he looks like he will be available,\u201d Islanders coach Barry Trotz said of Nelson, who played a sum of 10:48, but was in the room for the unsuccessful five-minute power play that followed the Killorn indiscretion. \u201cHe came back and he can play, so to me, all signs would indicate that he\u2019ll be playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nelson\u2019s 15 points (7-8) are two behind club leader Josh Bailey\u2019s 17 (2-15). The center is in a three-way tie with Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau for second in goals behind team leader Anthony Beauvillier, who has eight. It was Pageau who took Nelson\u2019s spot in the middle between Bailey and Beauvillier while Nelson was being tended to.<\/p>\n

Point, a leading contender for the Conn Smythe, who is second in playoff scoring with 23 points (8-15), two behind Nathan MacKinnon, came up halting on an early second-period shift after absorbing a big hit late in the first. Lightning coach Jon Cooper primarily moved Anthony Cirelli into Point\u2019s spot between Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to give an update on Pointer right now,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cWe\u2019re off [Thursday] so it would be pointless to talk about it. I\u2019m not trying to keep you in the dark or anything, but I won\u2019t have a better understanding until [Friday] morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Killorn, though, will not be available Friday after being suspended for one game by the NHL Department of Player Safety for the blow against Nelson.<\/p>\n

The play was categorized as \u201ca forceful check against the defenseless Nelson, driving him dangerously into the boards \u2026 a forceful hit from behind on a defenseless player no longer in possession of the puck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Killorn, an eight-year veteran, had never before been suspended, though he had been fined once in his career of 585 regular season games and 83 postseason contests.<\/p>\n

Prior to the announcement, Cooper said he\u2019d be \u201cmildly shocked\u201d if the winger were unavailable.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Lightning could fill in for Killorn with 23-year-old Mitchell Stevens, who has played six games in the tournament, including three against Columbus in the first round after playing in the three round-robin contests. Stevens, who went 3-3=6 in 38 regular-season contests and has one point (1-0) in the playoffs, has skated primarily on a line with Pat Maroon and Cedric Paquette.<\/p>\n

Andrew Ladd played 11:50 on 17 shifts during Game 3 in his first game since March 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to get a game. The first period, things were moving pretty quick but as the game moves along it kind of slows down and you can start making plays and get a lot more comfortable,\u201d said Ladd, who was deficient in coverage on the Lightning\u2019s winning goal at 19:51 of the third period and who got power play time as a net-front presence while Nelson was sidelined. \u201cIt was fun to be out there with the group and get a chance to contribute.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
